There is no documented methods to mark FAT as dirty. Unofficially MS
started to use reserved Byte in boot sector for this purpose, at least
since Win 2000. With Win 7 user is warned if fs is dirty and asked to
clean it.
Different versions of Win, handle it in different ways, but always have
same meaning:
- Win 2000 and XP, set it on write operations and
remove it after operation was finnished
- Win 7, set dirty flag on first write and remove it on umount.
We will do it as follows:
- set dirty flag on mount. If fs was initially dirty, warn user,
remember it and do not do any changes to boot sector.
- clean it on umount. If fs was initially dirty, leave it dirty.
- do not do any thing if fs mounted read-only.
- TODO: leave fs dirty if we found some error after mount.

Later we will need "state" field to check if volume was cleanly unmounted.
